Step 2: Combine Ingredients
Measure out 1 1/2 parts of Absolut vodka, 1 part of blue curacao, 3/4 part of cranberry juice, and 1/2 part of lime juice. Pour them all into the cocktail shaker.
Step 3: Shake It Up!
Add ice to the cocktail shaker, filling it halfway. Secure the lid tightly, and shake the mixture vigorously. This step is crucial for blending the flavors and chilling the cocktail to perfection.
Step 4: Strain and Serve
Once the mixture is well-shaken, strain it into a chilled old-fashioned glass. This ensures a smooth texture and removes any ice or excess pulp. Garnish with a lime wedge or twist, if desired.
Step 5: Enjoy Responsibly

Tips:
- For a visually stunning presentation, consider adding a splash of grenadine syrup to the bottom of the glass before straining in the cocktail mixture. This creates a vibrant layered effect.
- Feel free to adjust the ingredient quantities to suit your taste preferences. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, add a touch more cranberry juice or a dash of simple syrup.
- To make a larger batch for a crowd, simply multiply the ingredient quantities accordingly and mix in a larger container before straining into individual glasses.
